LYNDEE-JANE RUTHERFORD
Lyndee-Jane Rutherford is thrilled to be back at The Fortune Theatre and Dunedin. Known widely as a comedienne, Fortune audiences may remember her for the collection of nurses, carers and rest home administrators she played in Roger Hall’s Who Wants To Be 100? In a funny coincidence, after here she goes to Palmerston North to direct their version of Who Wants To Be 100?
Lyndee is fresh from directing a sell-out season of a new NZ play Becoming the Courtesan at BATS theatre in Wellington and last year directed the hugely successful season of Toi Cabaret- Anything Goes for the infamous Toi Whakaari/New Zealand Drama School and the rewarding season of Vigil for Centrepoint Theatre in Palmerston North.
She is extremely proud of winning Most Promising New Director of the Year at the Chapman Tripp Theatre Awards in Wellington in 2006 for her production of LovePuke by Dunedin born Duncan Sarkies.
Later on this year she is excited about directing a new play for the Young and Hungry Festival in Wellington.
